We made it to the stage, and I was already starting to chafe. I'd never worn leather pants before, and they not as sexy as you'd think. They chafe, and heaven forbid you sweat. But, I'm in a band, and that's what rock stars wear, right? I'd be more comfortable in a suit... but only that guy from AC/DC can get away right that, right? A stagehand handed me my guitar and I threw it over my shoulder. &quot;I sure hope I can play...&quot; &quot;What did you say, mate?&quot; &quot;Oh... 'I sure hope I get laid.'&quot; &quot;Ha, keep your mind on the show, Basil.&quot; Three days with the band, and that's the first time anyone had said my name... what kind of rock star name is 'Basil'? I didn't have time to think about my stupid rock name. It was time to play, and I had no idea if I could. I grabbed the pick from the mic stand, held it between my fingers and got ready for the lights to come up. &quot;Are you ready to rock, wherever the hell we are?!&quot; I sure hoped I was. 2007-12-31T20:52:58Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/4402 <p>really baby powder? lol! how did you know that?<br />very good story,Kevin.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/4402?basename=31575 2007-12-31T20:52:58Z I LOVE FRANK IERO AND WILLIAM BECKETT!!! http://ficlets.com/authors/manic_panic <p>Too funny!
